Shimadzu will add the latest platform to its EchoView series ofultrasound scanners at next week's American Institute of Ultrasoundin Medicine meeting. The new system, SDU-2000, features 128-channelarchitecture with a hybrid beamformer. It is a general-purposecolor-flow scanner targeted at cardiac, abdominal, vascular, andsuperficial applications. Shimadzu is also planning a power Dopplerupgrade for the scanner.
A fully configured SDU-2000 is expected to sell for a listprice of $85,000. SDU-2000 is pending 510(k) clearance from theFood and Drug Administration.
Another scanner in the EchoView line, SDU-350, received FDA510(k) clearance last month. That scanner is a lightweight, gray-scale,30-pound system that will retail for about $25,000.
Shimadzu, of Torrance, CA, debuted the EchoView technologyat last year's Radiological Society of North America meeting.The company also introduced its TrueVision probe technology, whichexpands the bandwidth of Shimadzu's probes to between 5 and 8MHz.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
